Tumor invasion and metastasis is accompanied by significant activations of specific proteolysis enzymes. Tumor area is known to have increased infiltration of immunoglobulins G (“IgG”), so IgG may undergo proteolysis in this area.

Since the intact PLG molecules as well as its fragments have lysine binding sites, they can bind to damaged IgG or fragments thereof with free C-terminal lysine that can appear in a circulation after proteolysis in the malignant tumor area. In the present invention we demonstrated the increased binding of damaged IgG or fragments thereof with free C-terminal lysine to fragments of PLG in samples from patients with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer vs. samples from healthy donors, and thus we proposed a novel diagnostic method.
